  • Good enough to have bought it as a replacement for my mislaid Blu-ray of the same.

    I purchased this because I could not find my Blu-ray of the series and did not want to simply replace it with another, so went for the bog standard DVDs. I knew the content and wanted access to it. Nuff said. I also had the same problem with the Hollywood movie of H2G2. I much prefer the BBC series but neither is up to the original Radi 4 series where one's brain paints the picture. Still very much worth having, though.

  • Keep banging the rocks together!

    Great nostalgia trip. This version is the best one, much better than the Hollywood one that came later. The special effects on this are state of the art for 1980, so looks like you could expect the Tardis to materialise at any second. This adds to the quirkiness of the story and enhances it no end.

  • BBC's TV version of Hitchhikers Guide from the early 80s

    Exactly the version I wanted.

  • Wonderful nostalgic sci-fi fun

    I loved this series when I was a child and love it the same now. No hi-tech CGI but magic from the days when TV was worth watching.

  • Big slice of nostalgia

    This TV series from the '80s sits nicely between the Radio audio series (which is excellent) and the film (which is mediocre). It has the same low-budget appeal as the early Red Dwarf TV series, although obviously predates it significantly. The retro appeal is enhanced by the 4:3 aspect ratio and slightly fuzzy focus compared to modern media, and it has a great nostalgia feel for those who watched it originally on TV.

  • Good old telivision.

    Old version remember seeing the original better than the book. This is when the B.B.C. made good television.

  • The Original, and the best!

    Taken from the BBC Radio series using mostly the same cast, this is far superior to the later cinema release version.

  • Great for those of us who remember the original airing & old Dr Who style sets! X-)

    A good introduction to H2GT2G for the un-initiated. Not quite as Good as the books or radio series, but for those of us who remember the original airing & old Dr Who style sets! X-). The late Peter Jones as the voice of the Book - Great casting. Science fiction with Universal humour! Thank You Douglas.
